Malala is 13-years-old girl. She lived in Mangora, Swat Valley. Her father is a principal of school. Back in 2003 to 2009, when the Taliban became the de-facto rulers of Pakistan's Swat region they ordered girls’ schools to close as part of an edict banning girls' education. At the time, Malala was just 11, but she spoke out through an anonymous diary on BBC Urdu's website, later featured in two New York Times documentaries and Geo’s Program ‘Capital Talk’.
Human expresses lot of wishes in life. Few are fulfilled in life but few are those which are fulfilled after death. In the memory of deceased, heirs fulfilled those wishes. Bisma’s parents fulfilled their beloved daughter wishes by purchasing new dress for her and by cutting her birthday cake but after her death.
